Auckland House Girls’ School Hosts RBI Financial Literacy Programme
A comprehensive financial literacy programme was organised at Auckland House School for Girls by the Reserve Bank of India’s Financial Wirazd Club.
The session aimed to empower students with essential financial knowledge covering key topics such as the distinction between needs and wants, saving versus investing, compound interest, inflation, insurance, pension planning, and strategies to avoid digital fraud.
A skit titled “Compound Interest Saves the Day” creatively portrayed the value of early savings, while another engaging performance raised awareness about the risks of online gaming fraud. To further reinforce learning, a quiz was held to test the students’ understanding of core financial pillars like safety, growth, and liquidity, along with diversification and types of bank accounts—including those available for minors.
The programme concluded with an overview of career opportunities with the RBI, introducing students to its examination structure and institutional functions.
The RBI team was led by Mr. Pitambar Agrawal (Deputy General Manager & HOD) and comprised Mr. Ashish Sharma (Assistant General Manager), Mr. Rahul Joshi (Manager), Mr. Bikram Bangarh (Assistant Manager), and Ms. Meenakshi Badra (Assistant).
School Principal , Mrs. Samarki Samanthroy extended heartfelt gratitude to the RBI officials and encouraged the students to apply the knowledge in real life and foster financial awareness within their families.
